APAD Membership
APAD offers individual membership and institutional membership for organisations (laboratories, universities, research centres, etc.).
Individual Membership
APAD offers a standard membership fee and a reduced membership fee depending on your average monthly income:
- Average monthly income over €800: €50
- average monthly income below €800: €25
Being a member of APAD entitles you to:
- Receive the journal Anthropology & development (one issue per year) ;
- Take part in the APAD conferences and seminars;
- Receive regular news and updates by email.
Some students receive grants and have financial resources while others do not. In Africa, because of other income opportunities, the basic salary does not necessarily provide a good indication of income. It is therefore the average monthly income that determines the amount of the membership fee. We are counting on the honesty of our members: APAD lives mainly off the fees paid by its members. For your information, the reduced membership fee does not cover the cost of printing and mailing the journal issue.
Membership is free if your institution is an institutional member.
Institutional Membership
The membership fee is €500/year for institutions in the North (research laboratories, NGOs, etc.) and €200/year for institutions in the South, with a renewable 4-year commitment. It is €1,500/year for institutions wishing to show greater support and universities covering several interested laboratories. Partnerships can also take the form of multi-year agreements (contact the secretariat).
Institutional memberships enable research, higher education or development organisations interested in the APAD project to support its mission and its contribution to the promotion and dissemination of research in development anthropology and the training of young researchers. The institutional membership fee gives institutional members the opportunity a) to join an international network involving dozens of institutions and hundreds of researchers in the North and South; b) to support research on development and social change in the countries of the South; and c) to contribute to North/South exchanges in research training. It offers free individual membership to their researchers and students interested in the association. The institution’s involvement in APAD’s activities is visible on the site’s home page.
